Tonight at Drawl: Norwood Creech

Drawl, the newish gallery opened by artist Guy Bell, is hosting an opening reception from 6-8 p.m. tonight for the opening of "The Flatlander: Depictions of the Delta," work by Lepanto artist Norwood Creech. Bell describes Creech as an "agricultural artist" for her wide horizon paintings and drawings of Delta farmland.

Creech's painting "Duck Blind," which Bell said was two years in the making, will be unveiled at the reception. As Creech says on Drawl's Facebook page, "Duck Blind" is a large piece I started a few years ago. We unearthed it while culling for the DRAWL show. And now, it's back up on the work wall. This proves to those doubters, that it's not dead, yet. ... "

Drawl is at 5208 Kavanaugh Blvd., on the second floor above Yancey's. Barbecue sliders are promised for the evening.

We don't get to post all the jpegs of artwork on exhibit that come into the office, but they have more allure and tell you more about the work than what I can write about them. Hence this slideshow of work from shows opening tonight (Aug. 10) for 2nd Friday Art Night, 5-8 p.m. (see the To Do list for more information), and other openings and shows this weekend and in the days ahead.

New music from Isaac Alexander.
